Extract data from *.dat dictionary file

Hi everybody.

As I legaly purchase the dictionary french software "Le Petit Robert 2012" and "Le Robert et Collins" in Cd-Rom, and as there is no mobile version compatible with Mobipocket Mobireader on my Nokia N97, I think I have the rights to try to convert them in format that can read my reader.

I tryed...

But the problem is these software store the words list in a *.dat file that I can't read. All text editors view these files in strange way. I think the data are compiled in some way that only the native software can read it.

My question: is there a way to extract the dictionary from the *.dat file for using it to build a compatible prc or mobi file for my reader ?

Please enlighten me.


Thank you in advance
